Cagdanao Island Romantic Vacations

We had a couple of minor issues here, no wakeup call, which we'd booked for an early start tour and a lack of communication from hotel about the tour cancellation. They should have advised tour cancelled when we came down to breakfast and at a minimum, put a notice advising guests in reception, lifts, under guests door etc. Pool area was nice and drinks at happy hour are great value, 2 cocktails for about 200php. Beds are very comfy, but as noted by other guests, room smelt damp and mouldy. There is evidence of damp and mould on 3rd floor corridor ceiling. Massages are great here on 5th floor and good value. Aside from Robinsons there's not really anywhere you can walk to. We used to get the Jeepneys downtown to go out for food and drink, about 12-15 php per person one way, though it could be a challenge to get a Jeepneys back, they were often very full. Hotel staff and manager Karen are all lovely. We had to extend our stay a few times, first as river tour was cancelled, then because of typhoon kalmaegi. But Karen was very accommodating, letting us stay in same room. This place could be something very special with a few tweaks. For example at breakfast my eggs on 2 occasions weren't cooked as requested ( poached, well done) or mistakenly given to other guests... Solution have table numbers and slips of paper with tick boxes for type of eggs you want and how you want them cooked, with ingredients list too, omlettes, well done, ham, egg, cheese etc.

Beautiful property! Great service! Great amenities! Serene and peaceful here ;) thanks for a wonderful vacation!

The site is beautiful

Everything you need and more will be taken care of! From transportation from the airport to excursions and activities included. The staff are always extremely friendly and helpful, they made my first trip to the Philippines and El Nido the best experience possible I'll definitely be making my way back here to stay longer.

Great resort for a relaxed holiday in a secluded island

Place was beautiful. Staff were awesome and the breakfast was great. Location was beautiful. I would rate this place a 5 Star except for 1 thing. The Scented Air Freshener that was unnecessary at the lobby upon check-in , in an open air that was making us sick and dizzy. It was so strong that even for a few minutes my husband and I could not stand it. He almost puked in-front of the staff at the lobby. It’s not for everyone especially for people with allergies. I had to ask one of the staff to kindly turn it off so we can process our check- in and arrange our tours. Asked a few guest we met during our stay and they felt the same way! Why pollute the fresh air?
